Why Candidata

What SeekOut and Juicebox are for the US, we are building for Europe – on evidence, not claims.

The American services have the breadth. We go deep where they are not: every requirement in the role points to a specific work, every person is linked by identifier rather than by name, and the sources have documented terms and live in the EEA. Whether we are better is decided by measurement with specialists as judges – not by this page.

Three things we do differently

  • Evidence, not claims.

    Every requirement in the role points to a specific paper, patent or project – with source and date. What we do not know is called unknown.

    As of 16 September 202699,912 publications with a DOI in the index, each linked to its source.

  • The right person, dated.

    We never link on a name alone. ORCID, ROR and DOI are the basis, and we show when an affiliation was last confirmed.

    As of 16 September 2026105,237 Nordic persons with an ORCID · 5,249 institutions with a ROR.

  • Nordic depth. Four languages.

    Search in Norwegian, Swedish, Danish or English against the same field. Sources with documented terms, stored in the EEA.

    As of 16 September 20265 Nordic countries in the index: Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Iceland and Finland.

How it works

From need to contact draft.

  1. 1

    Three entries

    Describe the need in free text, build requirements from skills, or upload the job ad.

  2. 2

    Criteria

    The need becomes editable requirements – required and desirable. Change them at any time.

  3. 3

    Documented matches

    The list shows the match with your criteria, 0–100, and the evidence behind each requirement.

  4. 4

    Compare

    Put candidates side by side, requirement by requirement, with source and date.

  5. 5

    Contact draft

    A draft built on the evidence you choose. Never sent from here – you use your own email.

Sources

Open sources with documented terms.

No scraping. No unofficial APIs. No purchased profile datasets. A source is activated only after its terms are read and a live test shows value.

What we never do

  • We do not harvest LinkedIn or GitHub. They are channels you can check in yourself, not sources.

  • We do not guess email addresses. Without a documented contact route it says "unknown".

  • We do not say who "fits". The match is against your criteria, never a probability of job success.

  • Public professional activity says nothing about interest in a new job, availability or consent to contact. We show it as unknown.

A pilot for selected agencies and companies.

The pilot is free for 90 days. The evidence is always visible, and usage is measured from day one, so both sides see what the service actually delivers.
